I had to restart from the beginning once because I couldn't find where I went wrong. But second time was the charm and it's fun when everything falls into place in the end :)

2 hours over three days and worth every minute! I had to walk away to see a fresh look. I saw the power of the thermo, but I didn't appreciate the power of the entropic line. What a nice resolve - thanks!
